A new feature for the crafting system in Season 11 in Diablo 4 has been somewhat under the radar. It allows players to craft particularly powerful items, but only if the gods are favorable to you.
What is this feature? With Season 11 starting on December 12, 2025, a new crafting system will be introduced in Diablo 4, which not only resembles Path of Exile but also brings some new features. One of them is the crafting step called “sanctification,” where you enchant items in unpredictable ways and give them random effects.
It is also surrounded by an additional effect that has previously flown under the radar and has now gained special attention in the community due to a blog post from Blizzard. This is another random aspect that can occur during sanctification and represents a kind of “jackpot.”
In the blog post, it is stated:
The sanctification of your item makes it no longer modifiable, thus ending its development. It should therefore be the final upgrade that your item receives. The possible sanctification values now have a more restricted range that targets higher values. General offensive legendary aspects have been added to the sanctification. Through a divine intervention, even mythic powers could anchor themselves in your item…
In particular, the last sentence has sparked conversation in the community. It clearly expresses that with a very low probability, if the gods are favorable to you – meaning you have a lot of luck with the random factor – mythic aspects can also find a place on your items.
However, this addition has elicited mixed feelings in the community rather than jumps of joy.
“Oh dear, I can hardly wait for something like that to never happen to my items!”
What does the community say about the possibility of “divine intervention”? In a thread on Reddit, players are currently discussing this sentence in particular. The random factor of the new crafting system has already faced criticism due to the PTR, and this “newer” addition is also not particularly popular, even though the idea of mythic uniques is generally well received.
PeertjedePoedel writes: “Oh dear, I can hardly wait for something like that to never happen to my items!” and hbdgas agrees: “It will happen just as often as the mythic chaos rifts did this season.” Saucermote joins in and adds: “I had mythic chaos rifts that didn’t drop any mythic items. How funny is that.”
Otherwise_Pride_9433 is excited about the possibility despite the randomness: “[…] fun aside, that sounds really cool, probably extremely rare – but cool.” MacroBioBoi also sees it as an opportunity: “I’ll briefly touch on this possibility. I also like the idea of a gentle start for the unique chaos powers.”
How rare the chance of such a “divine intervention” will actually be when the time comes remains to be seen.
On December 12, 2025, Season 11 of Diablo will launch, bringing along the sanctification and numerous new features and content. What to expect, how it went on the PTR, and what you should know is covered in our overview: Diablo 4 Season 11: All about the start, release date, and changes
